COMBINED GALLEY-REST, COPY-HOLDER, AND COPY-GUIDE iaPECIPICATION formingpart of Letters Patent No. 332,954, dated December 22, 1885.

Application filed March 19,1885. Serial No. 159,424. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, JosEPH SILBERNIK, a resident of the city, county,and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement inCombined GalleyRests, Copy- Holders, and Copy-Guides, of which thefollowing is a full, clear, and exact description.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part ofthis specification, in which similar letters of reference indicatecorresponding parts in all the figures.

Figure l is a sectional side elevation of my improvement, shown in fulllines applied to the lower case, and in dotted lines applied to theupper case. Fig. 2 is a side elevation of the improvement. Fig. 3 is aplan view of the same reversed. Fig. 4 is an end elevation of the same.

The object of this invention is to provide combined galley-rests,copy-holders, and copyguides constructed in such a manner that they canbe readily applied to the lower case to hold a galley when correctingproof, and applied to the upper case for holding copy, and which shallbe simple in construction and convenient in use, and when in use willnot obstruct any of the compartments of the case.

The invention relates to a combined galleyrest, copy-holder, andcopy-guide, constructed with a frame provided with metallic plates atthe upper ends of the side bars, and bars sliding in staples at theouter sides of the said side bars, whereby the said frame can be usedeither side up. To the frame are hinged bars, resting upon itscross-bars, connected by a rod and cords, and provided with a longstaple attached to the side bar, and a hooked rod sliding upon the longstaple and a connecting-cord, whereby the galley-rest can be used as acopy holder and guide, as will be hereinafter fully described and thenclaimed.

A represents the lower case, and B the upper case, which cases aresupported upon a frame, 0, in the ordinary manner. D are two side bars,which are recessed in their lower edges to make them lighter, and areconnected near their ends by two cross-bars, E. The side bars, D, aremade of such a length that the lower feet, formed by recessing the edgesof the said side bars, will rest against the bottom ledge of the lowercase, and the upper feet will rest upon the edge of a crosspartition ofthe said case. The frame D E is kept from slipping down, when placedupon the case A, by metallic plates F, attached to the outer edges ofthe upper feet, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2.

The frame D E is made of such a size as to readily support a galley, asindicated in dotted lines in Fig. 1, without preventing access to thevarious compartments of the case.

To the lower sides of the cross-bars E, at one end, are hinged the endsof two bars, G, which are connected near their free ends by a rod, H,attached to them. The bars G are secured in place, when the improvementis used as a galley-rest, by a button, I, pivoted to a cross-bar, E, andturned over the end of a bar, G. The bars G are further connected bycords J, the ends of which are secured to the inner sides of the saidbars by eye-screws or other suitable means.

To the side bar, D, at the hinged ends of the bars G, is attached a longstaple, K, which passes through an eye in the end ofa rod, L, upon theother end of which is formed a hook to engage with the outerconnecting-cord, J, as shown in Figs. 3 and, 4. To the upper crossbar isattached a spring-clamp, M, to take hold of the upper edge of the copyand hold it, the said copy resting upon the rod H and cords J, and beingheld smooth by the hooked rod L. The hooked rod L can be moved down uponthe staples K and cord J, to serve as a guide to direct the eye of thecompositor to the part of the copy being used.

With this construction the copy-holder can be swung up, carrying thecopy with it, to give access to the compartments of the case.

To the outer sides of the lower ends of the side bars, D, are attachedpairs of staples N, through which are passed bars 0, the ends of whichare made a little wider than their bodies,

to prevent the said bars from dropping out of the said staples. The bars0 serve as stops to keep the frame D E in place upon the-case when thesaid frame is adjusted either side up and adjust themselves in properposition by sliding through the said staples.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secureby Letters Patent 1. The combination, with the frame D E, of themetallic plates F, the staples N, and the stop-bars O, sliding in thesaid staples, sub

stantially as herein shown and described, ing hook-rod L, substantiallyas herein shown whereby the said frame can be used either side anddescribed, whereby the galley-rest can be up, as set forth. a used as acopy holder and guide, as set forth. 2.
